$\"visu-absorption_TDC-RECTO\"$ <\/a>French live dub has always been on a high level, for example take a look at High Tone, Brain Damage, Mei Tei Sho (a mixture of jazz and afrobeat with dub), Le Peuple de l”Herbe (similar climate to Mei Tei Sho), not to omit Zenzile or Ez3kiel. Here I have to say that only Brain Damage and High Tone still function internationally and there is kind of a gap in that style, which is filled by Teldem Com\u2019Unity. That crew comes from Burgundy, but their musical inspirations are reaching far away from France \u2013 in their work you can hear dub, electronic music, rock and hip-hop. Album \u201cAbsorption\u201d is their second release and it\u2019s different than \u201cGround Zero\u201d \u2013 the debut one which was much closer to reggae and dub music, what granted it a huge audience and some awards (it opened their way to play live all over the France and in a big part of Europe). As they say \u2013 the album contains a lot of electronic sounds, and the man connects with the machine into a live music breaking any generic borders \u2013 alternative sounds with distorted guitars, hypnotizing loops and massive bass. The first tune is \u201cAngry Man\u201d, a soft intro and preparation to what is waiting for us later, because the next two ones are rough \u2013 \u201cRun Dat\u201d conjoins rock and hip-hop and \u201cMuse\u201d interlaces a beautiful melody with heavy metal \u2013 great example of how the land of smoothness can be shrouded with darkness. Heavy play is summed up in \u201cRock\u2019s Skit\u201d, to move forward to the first tune with a guest \u2013 Sir Jean (probably known widely thanks to Brain Damage) singing \u201cAll about love\u201d with Teldem Com\u2019Unity and Well J, creating one of the best tunes on the album. In \u201cTell me why\u201d, which has a tough lyrics, we still stay in a climate closer to dub and reggae fans; \u201cMilitant Rebel\u201d makes us move to the bass rhythm and bounce off the effects, created by the French and we reach \u201cSafara\u201d with Lyricson. After the first half of the album you could think that it\u2019s a medley rather than an one band\u2019s album. \u201cPay day\u201d with Joe Pilgrim still keeps us in the dub climate with a bit of electronics, and in steppers \u201cRockers\u201d they show us, how do they see the dub music. \u201cAGH\u201d proves us how much you can feature in one tune \u2013 middle east is mixed with electronics and poured with a dub sauce. \u201cMiracle\u201d is rough electronic in 80\/90s style \u2013 synths with bass and drums dictating the tempo. At the end we have \u201cExpressure\u201d \u2013 a proof that Teldem Com\u2019Unity is a well-knit band and \u201cAbsorption\u201d is a huge step forward. You can\u2019t typecast them, and you don\u2019t have to. There is so much music that we \u2013 reviewers \u2013 make the artificial borders. However, the French show us how five good musicians can found us a musical trip after which we are going to recover for a long time, and when we do we will pack our stuff back and start it once again to widen horizons of our tight minds.<\/p>\n
